Yes, quite right. My only worry was whether Emacs has incorrect uses of 
 __clang_major__ that cause incorrect user-visible behavior on some 
macOS versions. I'm not worried about suboptimal code or bogus warnings.

Perhaps I'm worrying too much. Not being an old Mac OS X expert (pun was 
intended :-) I don't know. If someone reading this email is such an 
expert and cares about old macOS ports I hope they can spare a few 
minutes to check.
